The summary

उमाकान्त पी. शाह चन्द्रानन्द के काल-निर्धारण में एक नया प्रमाण जोड़ते हैं। वैशेषिकसूत्र के इस वृत्तिकार का उल्लेख अभिनवगुप्त ने ईश्वरप्रत्यभिज्ञाविवृतिविमर्शिनी में किया है, जो नवम्बर १०१४ ई. में पूर्ण हुई; अतः चन्द्रानन्द की उत्तर सीमा दसवीं शताब्दी ही सिद्ध होती है। Shah adds a new witness to the date of Candrananda, commentator on the Vaisesikasutra: Abhinavagupta names him in the Isvarapratyabhijna-vivrti-vimarsini, completed in November 1014. Since Helaraja had already been shown to quote him, the tenth century stands as the lower limit of Candrananda's date.
